Patient's question:
Last year, I had an abortion. This year, I was diagnosed with cervical inflammation. Currently, my vaginal discharge is abnormal, but I have no other symptoms. What are the causes of cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of cervical inflammation:1. Physical and chemical irritation: Using high-concentration acidic or alkaline solutions to wipe the vagina, or placing corrosive medications in the vagina, can destroy vaginal and cervical tissues, potentially leading to cervical inflammation and vaginitis.
2. Mechanical irritation or injury: Cervical laceration and subsequent infection caused by childbirth or miscarriage are common causes of acute cervical inflammation; excessive sexual activity can also increase the risk of cervical infection.
3. Foreign bodies in the vagina: When gauze, cotton balls, or other foreign objects are left in the vagina for too long, they can easily cause infection, leading to acute cervical inflammation.
